It isn't just because of the depth, it is the fact that the code matches the physical brutality perfectly. It is in the combination of brutal play that the excellent software starts to shine. It kind of makes you feel like you actually are in a zombie apocalypse.

I played that game a ton, and it never clicked. Then with newer versions of the software I again tried to like it, and the match is amazing. Sometimes the game design and software design just work together. This one does that extreamly well.
